Mandriva 2007 DVD ISO

Why won't K3b burn this to a single layer DVD? The "usage" bar indicates
that it will fit onto a single layer DVD but I keep getting prompted to
insert a double layer DVD.

Check the file size. When I went to burn it the first time after
downloading it, it said there wasn't enough room for it. After checking
the file, it was twice the size it was supposed to be. Don't know how that
happened, but after I downloaded it again with the proper size, it burnt
ok.

Well, how can this happen and still have a good md5sum and good gpg
signature? Anyway, I'm downloading it again.

I don't know how it happened since I started the download about 2AM and
went to bed. I never run md5 sums any more. After never have one fail over
many downloads, I just quite doing it. But K3B did pass the MD5 Sum I
think before it told me the file wouldn't fit. Was your iso file double
the size too?

No. It was 4.6 GB which won't fit on a single layer dvd. I'm still
downloading another copy of the DVD but it's showing up as 4.6GB. So, I
don't know how you managed to get it onto a single layer dvd. Also, K3b
shows a single layer DVD as only 4.4 GB capacity.

Me too, until one cd download showed up bad, went back to making
checks after download.

Lots of burns without problem until about half way through this
lastest spindle. Seems there are specs of junk on bottom of some of
the cds. Clean them off, erase and works fine. I am no longer in such
a hurry to skip the checksum tests.

The file is 4,6xx,xxx,xxx bytes long, but it's only 4.34GB (base 1024).

You are using the k3b option "burn ISO image to DVD", and *not* just
dragging the ISO file to a data DVD, right?
